U.S. imports of electrical lighting and signaling equipment for vehicles and cycles (SITC 77834) totaled $417.1M in April 2026, traded with 59 countries.
Importers of Electrical Lighting and Signaling Equipment for Vehicles and Cycles paid $37.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $184.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataVehicle-mounted electrical lighting and signaling devices — including turn signals, brake lights, interior lighting, horns, and warning systems — along with windshield wipers, defrosters, and demisters for motor vehicles, motorcycles, and cycles, are the commercial core of this heading; filament, discharge, and arc lamps themselves are excluded. These products are subject to NHTSA Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards when intended for use on US-market vehicles, adding a regulatory compliance dimension beyond tariff classification. Section 301 tariffs have broadly affected Chinese-origin automotive electrical components, making origin and classification accuracy especially consequential for aftermarket importers.

Auxiliary lighting assemblies designed for vehicle mounting — including LED light bars — are generally classified here when they constitute complete lighting equipment rather than bare lamp components. However, off-road-only products not intended for use on public roads may be treated differently under NHTSA standards than street-legal equipment, which affects both regulatory compliance obligations and, in some cases, tariff classification arguments based on end-use.
Lighting and signaling equipment covered by FMVSS must meet applicable photometric, color, and durability standards before sale for use on US-road vehicles. Importers are responsible for ensuring compliance and must be prepared to demonstrate conformance — typically through test reports from recognized laboratories. Non-compliant equipment is subject to NHTSA recall authority and CBP may detain shipments flagged for safety standard violations.
